Von Koenigseggâs bald pate and his mellifluous, lightly accented English, not to mention his headquarters on a remote, decommissioned military base, bring to mind a Bond villain. And the association is apt, for while von Koenigseggâs ambitions may not be malevolent, heâs nevertheless bent on world domination, at least in the realm of seven-figure supercars. The automobile industry is littered with the skeletons of failed startups driven by a single manâs all-consuming vision.
Koenigsegg calls it the worldâs first âmega carâ because it produces more than one megawatt of power (a megawatt equals 1,341 horsepower). The company says the One:1 can reach a âsimulated top speedâ of 273 miles per hour. If it really can go that fast, it will be the fastest production car in the world. Its body and chassis are made of a new type of carbon fiber that is 20 percent lighter than what was used on previous Koenigseggs.
